Description

The first street, scaled down

The Modular Buildings range began in 2007 and quickly became a favourite with adult fans. This set gathers its first five entries in miniature form: Café Corner, Market Street, Green Grocer, Fire Brigade and Grand Emporium. Each building is a small model in its own right, and together they form a compact street that fits on a desk or a narrow shelf. For anyone who missed the full-size originals, it offers a way to own the whole early line-up without the space they demand.

Micro techniques at work

Shrinking a multi-storey building to this scale means relying on small elements: plates, tiles and specialised parts rather than full-size bricks. That explains why 1,356 pieces are needed for such compact models, spread over 247 distinct part types. The build rewards patience and a steady hand, and it is a good introduction to micro-scale techniques for builders used to larger sets. Expect plenty of small steps, with each façade coming together from many carefully placed details.

Colours and display

Light Bluish Grey and Dark Bluish Grey lead the colour list, followed by Black and White. That neutral base lets the individual building colours stand out, much like a real street where pavements and roofs frame the façades. There are no minifigures, which suits a scale where they would tower over the houses. This is a display set through and through, well suited to sitting next to a collection of full-size Modular Buildings as a small reminder of where the series started.

Finding the small parts

With so many small pieces, a missing tile can hold up an entire façade. The complete parts list below makes it easy to track down exactly what you need, element by element. Should you take the street apart, the What can I build? feature on this page shows which other sets you could rebuild with the same pieces. The large number of plates and tiles is also a useful stock for your own micro-scale creations.
